	From rootsweb site. Until 1959 the official title of Hampshire was, in fact, the "county of Southampton". In 1964, when Southampton gained City status, it became "the city and county of the City of Southampton", and Hampshire stood then on its own.

	Nope Pompy has allways been in Hampshire (or at least for the last 200 years it has)

	I think it may have been in the county of Southampton at that time.
